Should irrigation be redesigned when the planting changes?
Usually, yes, or at least re-evaluated. New plants, revised planting beds and new hardscape often make the old sprinkler layout inefficient or ineffective.
The living character of the landscape
Planting & Irrigation
Planting gives a landscape its living character: the shade, privacy, texture and seasonal interest that make an outdoor space feel like home. We plan planting and irrigation together so the landscape is suited to your property and has room to mature.
Color, texture and contrast—from flowering perennials to sculptural succulents. Select a photograph for a closer look at the planting palette.

Planting with a purpose
Frame a view, soften walls or build privacy with plants suited to your site. Coastal salt exposure, inland and desert heat, winter conditions, water needs and applicable fire-zone rules all affect the choices. We plan planting, soil preparation and irrigation around the property’s actual conditions.
Water-efficient irrigation
Larger landscape projects must meet California's water-efficient landscape rules. We design irrigation and soil preparation to comply and to keep plants healthy.
A landscape planned to mature
The right spacing, soil preparation and irrigation make as much difference as the plants themselves. We consider mature size, root space, maintenance access and the relationship between lawn, artificial turf, planters and paved areas. The result is a coherent planting plan that supports how you want to use your property.

Questions worth asking
How can a smart irrigation controller help?
A correctly configured smart controller can adjust irrigation using weather or soil-moisture information, but it still needs suitable zones, emitters and settings.
When is drip irrigation worth considering?
Drip irrigation is ideal for shrubs, perennials, trees and planting beds, because it delivers water slowly to the root zone with minimal evaporation, overspray and runoff.
